Rant: I thought 'friend dates' were just for people who can't make real plans

My buddy Mark kept asking to grab coffee for 20 minutes on a Tuesday morning, and I kept blowing it off thinking it was pointless. Last week I finally said yes, and we met at that spot on Maple Street. We just talked about his kid's baseball team and my crew's paint job on the old library. It wasn't a big deal, but I left feeling way more connected than after any big group dinner we've done in months. Has anyone else had a tiny meet-up fix a friendship that felt like it was fading?

Shows how the small stuff actually matters.

My local coffee shop remembered my name and now I'm a customer for life.
